Our first time here tonight on a recommendation from a friend. Welcomed & seated quickly. Wonderful table d'hote & very reasonable prices . Delicious. We will be back!
An amazing gem of a restaurant. The service was impeccable & the owners were very attentive to our needs from the moment we sat down. The seafood platter we ordered was simply fantastic.
